I love alternative ideas. The one I hear most is Yojimbo, though I’ve seen Together’s name pop up in the anything bucket discussions.

One of my biggest uses for Evernote these days is to store receipts, and it’s awfully handy to have them anywhere.

But, yes, the interface leaves something to be desired. It’s not necessarily *awful*… but it could be *so* much cleaner.

Thanks for reading

I’ve liked Evernote since it first came out. What’s not to like about it? You can put several kinds of things in it. It’s got ubiquitous access, it does OCR, it serves as a backup for whatever you feed it, it’s got a great reputation for service and customer feedback…

I could go on.

But I land on Evernote the way you used to land on Omnifocus. I can’t stand Evernote’s interface. Primarily, I hate the lack of any kind of thoughful export option. It bothers me that even simple text notes I’ve attempted to store in Evernote for the long haul end up wacked.

Again, I could go on.

So I’ve landed on Together by Reinvented Software. Steve has provided the best service I’ve ever experienced from a dev. I like that whatever I throw at Together, it takes – I repeat, whatever I propose it eat, it does so immediately. There are no limitations in the files it can handle. I like that all that I put into Together lives on my ‘puter. I know this goes against the whole “must-have-ubiquitous-access-to all-my-info-at-all-times-cool-kids-mantra” that’s out there. But since I spend most of my time away from my home at work, I should be working and not surfing through all my stuff that is at home…

Just a thought.

I’m not trying to proselytize by any means. I have just found that for my purposes, Together offers all that Evernote offers that is necessary for me. Done. End of story.

PS – Found your site a few days ago. En. Joy. It.
